Picaridin based repellents tend to be favored as they are found to be less greasy and sticky than other repellent formulas.

20% Picaridin based repellents are recommend by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to help prevent bites from mosquitoes and ticks that may spread Zika virus, Lyme disease and other infectious diseases.

Picaridin is a synthetic compound that was made to resemble the natural compound Piperine, which is responsible for the pungency in black pepper.

Although Picaridin has only been available in the US since 2005, it has been available outside of the Americas since 1998, and is one of the best selling insect repellents in Europe.
